i think that marlee matlin is a great actress! she does a really good job of emoting with her face. also, being a deaf woman myself, i don't think that marlee matlin is trying to identify more with the hearing culture. i hate it when people say that, what's wrong with commnicating with the hearing world? most hearing people don't know ASL! and she's an actress, she's surrounded by hearing people all the time! up until pretty recently deaf actors weren't prevelant i hollywood.
and as for deanne bray being a better actress...there's no doubt that she's a very nice person, but i watched Sue Thomas FB Eye for a long time, in case you haven't noticed, she barely EVER signs! she almost NEVER does, why isn't she the sellout (i don't think she is, but still,marlee signs way more than deanne does)? plus, STFBEye is a stupid show, it's ridiculously cheesy and completely unrealistic. it's cute, but i'd rather watch something more real.
oh and to the people making comments about being surprised that marlee would act as a gay character and deanne not doing the show because she's a christian: marlee is an ACTOR, it's what she does for a living, and deanne bray WAS A GUEST ON THE SHOW IN THREE EPISODES. they're two very kind open-minded people, that's all. and homophobia/ignorance is disgusting.
